Bands Named After Meat

Could you imagine a compilation like this showing up on a late night infomercial? No, me neither. But this is one of the beautiful things about this new digital world we live in. A playlist of songs by bands named after meat is not something that would have ever been created, manufactured and promoted before digital music distribution. And marketing and distributing a compilation album used to take serious money. Today it only takes a few minutes, an idea and a subscription music service.

We all know there are some weird band names out there. And this playlist falls into the "weird band name" category, but concentrates on bands who share a name with a cut of meat. While most are beef-specific, some are more generic and puzzling like the Meat Puppets.

Other meatalicious artists include T-Bone Walker, Meat Loaf, Swinging Steaks, Red Red Meat, Scotty And The Rib Tips, Acoustic Sausage, The Pork Dukes and many more. Dig in!
